I have bows on the brain! This cute cowl features a slip stitch garter rib and a big beautiful garter stitch or stockinette stitch bow. The entire piece is knit flat with absolutely no shaping. This is a perfect project for a beginner knitter and the finished item will be something they are proud to show off. If you like this, project check out my big bow earmuffs.
